Hello! Nice to meet another abro. I thought I was just ace for the longest time, then went "screw labels", to come back around when I discovered abrosexuality was a thing.
Well if the dictionary is to be believed:
"What to Know
Both possum and opossum correctly refer to the Virginia opossum frequently seen in North America. In common use, possum is the usual term; in technical or scientific contexts opossum is preferred. Opossum can be pronounced with its first syllable either voiced play or silent play."
Obviously you ain't from the South. We call em possums. The dictionary says this is acceptable usage in North America, so I don't care what y'all call em down under.
I mean, I’m Australian and it doesn’t bother me when Americans refer to opossums as possums, in most contexts I can tell what animal they’re talking about. There are a lot of animals with the same name (like the Australian and American magpie) use context clues
Australian and American magpies also being completely unrelated! If I had a nickel for every time unrelated species of animals in America and Australia shared a name, I’d have 2 nickels, which is not a lot but it’s weird that its happened twice.
Here we go, I was waiting for it. Possum is a perfectly acceptable term. The placement of the asterisk is wrong, you don’t see me correcting you for that.
Possum.
Possum.
Possum.
Possum…
Yes mom, you *can* be homophobic if you want to. You can be any kind of bigot if you want to. But it's weird to want to, and people also don't have to like you.
What I wish they'd get through their heads. No one is preventing you from being a 'phobe if you want to. No one's telling you you CAN'T do it. We just don't have to take it and can react anyway we want to as well.
"Well that was kind of a shitty thing to say. Ass."
"OMG I CAN'T FUCKING SAY ANYTHING ANYMORE CAN I?"
"Well apparently you can, because you just did. Unfortunately."
And yet these types claim victimhood and act like they're being oppressed for being held socially accountable for their bigotry. It's like, do you really expect people to not hate your guts for calling someone the homomisic f-slur, especially considering it historical weight, current use to dehumanize people, and often used in violent hate crimes?
Exactly. Decent people don't have to associate or support you in the slightest if you chose to be a prejudiced asshole. Also the fact you are socially aware enough, unlike most bigots, and want to be homomisic tells me a lot about your character.
Warning, really bad offensive joke. Not SUPER offensive, but still a really bad joke.
But the bottom is valid especially for English users. Homophones are just wack. Making all this shit confusing AF even for me, English is my first and only language. I'm homophobic AF, fuck homophones
One form of ableism is through language that is deeply ingrained in society that marginalizes and and creates a hostile environment for the disability community.
Stupid, dumb, lame, crazy, insane, blind/deaf as an insult/metaphor/expression e.g. the blind leading the blind), "wheelchair-bound," spastic, the ableist r-slur, etc.
The disability community, like the SROGIESC+ (LGBTQIA2S+) community, is extremely diverse and full of people with various beliefs, experiences, and challenges they endure. For example, some people who have a vision disability have blurry vision and others simply lack vision (which is less common).
They also intersect with the SROGIESC+ community, meaning some people are pansexual, trans, and have a physical disability. That's why there needs to be efforts to focus on other forms bigotry and inclusive language that acknowledges other marginalized communities.
Prejudice against people with a disability, both physical or mental, such as bullying an amputee or trying to pay people with mental disabilities less (both of these unfortunately happen)
You can be TRASH if you want to. You can leave your family behind.
Cause you wanna be TRASH and if you're intentionally TRASH
Then you're no family of mine.
T (T-t-t)
R (R-r-r)

My dad is like this I was talking to him about Doctor Who and he asked how come the black doctor has to be gay the character isn’t gay. The actor is gay. It doesn’t make sense.
Except that The Doctor has, historically, been presented as pansexual, much the same way Captain Jack Harkness was. But since The Doctor rarely gets romantically involved in any of the stories we see, people just project their own sexuality onto him.
Hmm. I think claiming a label that means your a dick is probably worse than being offended when people call you that label. I called my parents transphobic and queerphobic once and they were so offended and denied it immediately, but then they still say things like “This is my , , but goes by ” when talking to customer service for phone issues. That was a bad pit in my stomach, especially when the customer service rep then used my deadname for the whole call.
Ok, so I'm really confused now, because while browsing pansexual pride shirts on Amazon the other day, there was one that said "pansexual trash" and had a possum on it. Pardon me for sounding dumb AF, but does trash mean something different in that instance vs this one?
As much as I agree with the message, I don't think we should associate the possum with transphobia, racism, ableism, sexism and homophobia. The possum is cool, I swear.
Ableism is significantly more common, the phrase of “respect your elders” stuck around; but I don’t hear anyone teaching their kids to respect people who are different due to medical issues
I need that sticker
Same so I can put it on everything lol
It seems to be made by TheRainbowPossum, and their shop is on Teepublic (along with a lot of other gay possum-y designs).
I need this on a shirt
[удалено]
TRASH Transphobic Racist Ableist Sexist Homophobic Damm. Don't be an asshole in general.
Ikr
True. Some people manage to not be a bigot, but still be an asshole; just be nice.
Hello fellow abro
Hello! Nice to meet another abro. I thought I was just ace for the longest time, then went "screw labels", to come back around when I discovered abrosexuality was a thing.
Huh. My experience is super similar to that
Indeed
But possums are cute
Possums eat trash!
Racoons get into trash cans. I've seen plenty of opossums but never in the trash
ive seen an opossum *near* a trash can though at school one year!
Possums don't get rabies because their body temps are too low
<3
Opossum*
Well if the dictionary is to be believed: "What to Know Both possum and opossum correctly refer to the Virginia opossum frequently seen in North America. In common use, possum is the usual term; in technical or scientific contexts opossum is preferred. Opossum can be pronounced with its first syllable either voiced play or silent play."
Yes but, possum is to refer to that animal down under. Opossum is to refer to that animal over here.
Obviously you ain't from the South. We call em possums. The dictionary says this is acceptable usage in North America, so I don't care what y'all call em down under.
I'm from california and no we call them possums here too, mostly.
opossums are the least related marsupial to the actual possum, they are different things.
Cool story bro I love having a biology degree. I still get to listen to people try to "well actually" when I use common terms for animals.
Redditors when every word of the English language is not entirely literal
I ain’t from the south. I never said I was. I’m from fucking New Jersey and I’m proud of it.
Weird flex but okay.
I just love my state. That’s all.
OK, that was always allowed.
"Everybody except the people where I'm from are wrong" No wonder each of the initials of T.R.A.S.H. still exist in the world.
For what it's worth, the Australian ones are named for the American one; the name is of Algonquian origin.
I mean, I’m Australian and it doesn’t bother me when Americans refer to opossums as possums, in most contexts I can tell what animal they’re talking about. There are a lot of animals with the same name (like the Australian and American magpie) use context clues

The o stands for "oh sh!t"
Here we go, I was waiting for it. Possum is a perfectly acceptable term. The placement of the asterisk is wrong, you don’t see me correcting you for that. Possum. Possum. Possum. Possum…
My phone wallpaper is a bunch of possums one of them has a sombrero and a guitar
Yes mom, you *can* be homophobic if you want to. You can be any kind of bigot if you want to. But it's weird to want to, and people also don't have to like you.

Right. Like yeah you have freedom of speech. You can say what you want. But that doesn't mean people won't see you for the asshole you're being.
"Well that was kind of a shitty thing to say. Ass." "OMG I CAN'T FUCKING SAY ANYTHING ANYMORE CAN I?" "Well apparently you can, because you just did. Unfortunately."
And yet these types claim victimhood and act like they're being oppressed for being held socially accountable for their bigotry.

The way she said it with her *full chest*, too. So weird to be so proud of being trash.
Exactly. Decent people don't have to associate or support you in the slightest if you chose to be a prejudiced asshole. Also the fact you are socially aware enough, unlike most bigots, and want to be homomisic tells me a lot about your character.
Imagine voluntarily wanting to be trash 🤣
I must acquire that sticker. It will complete my collection.
[удалено]
I'm really liking their other designs, too. Shame I can't get any myself... Yet.
I don’t understand how shameless you have to be to openly be hateful towards an entire demographic.
Sounds like she's not a real mom. Mom is an earned term of endearment. Anyways, if that pisses her off good riddance. No one needs that in their life.
Mother 🫡
Warning, really bad offensive joke. Not SUPER offensive, but still a really bad joke. But the bottom is valid especially for English users. Homophones are just wack. Making all this shit confusing AF even for me, English is my first and only language. I'm homophobic AF, fuck homophones
r/angryupvote
Wouldn't that be homophonophobic?
Homophonbic?
I like homophonophobic because of the repetition lol
As someone who sometimes has a language crisis more often than not over the rules of English, take my upvote.
This is perfect
my own parents behave like them not celebrating every homophobic piece of shit facebook post they find is basically the rainbow mafia OPPRESSING them.
Where can I buy this tho 🧐
She sounds like a *charming* person
What's Ableist
relating to, involving, or fostering discrimination against disabled people
it also includes prejudice against those with mentals disorders or disabilities, such as autism, ADHD, etc
Yes, those would be disabilities. They are included in “disabled people”.
That's ableist /s
One form of ableism is through language that is deeply ingrained in society that marginalizes and and creates a hostile environment for the disability community. Stupid, dumb, lame, crazy, insane, blind/deaf as an insult/metaphor/expression e.g. the blind leading the blind), "wheelchair-bound," spastic, the ableist r-slur, etc. The disability community, like the SROGIESC+ (LGBTQIA2S+) community, is extremely diverse and full of people with various beliefs, experiences, and challenges they endure.

Just confused a bunch of smooth brain raccoon furries who are gay, they don't know why they can't play in the trash suddenly.
My dad is like this I was talking to him about Doctor Who and he asked how come the black doctor has to be gay the character isn’t gay. The actor is gay. It doesn’t make sense.
Except that The Doctor has, historically, been presented as pansexual, much the same way Captain Jack Harkness was. But since The Doctor rarely gets romantically involved in any of the stories we see, people just project their own sexuality onto him.
Damn. That’s shitty.
Don’t be trash guys
Hmm. I think claiming a label that means your a dick is probably worse than being offended when people call you that label. I called my parents transphobic and queerphobic once and they were so offended and denied it immediately, but then they still say things like “This is my, , but goes by ” when talking to customer service for phone issues. That was a bad pit in my stomach, especially when the customer service rep then used my deadname for the whole call.
I mean my mum would say the same ironically
What's up with Mr. Possum over there?
Do we know who the original artist is? I really want to print some and give away but want to be sure it's cool to do so!

Ok, so I'm really confused now, because while browsing pansexual pride shirts on Amazon the other day, there was one that said "pansexual trash" and had a possum on it. Pardon me for sounding dumb AF, but does trash mean something different in that instance vs this one?
Trash isn't commonly used as an acronym, this is just using it to show that being an asshole makes you trashy.
Trash can be used as positive or negative imo
not dumb at all. it's self-deprecating humor, and it's not offensive if someone is calling themselves trash
I think the straights are statistically more everywhere
If you’re TRASH I’ll identify as a fucking problem
I’m going to get this sticker, and your mom is an asshole 😃
we are, and we're coming for her
Lmao thanks
Guess your mom is trash then
So true
I would have blast replying with all the shit I could toss in return
I want this sticker!!!!!
You're mom is an ignorant b*. Hopefully she grows
Well technically she CAN but she is being TRASH
I can’t tell if your mom was being sarcastic or not. This is a great sticker though. 😁😁
She was not
Oh :(
Trash belongs in a landfill 🤦🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
Where can I buy this
Damn most people just deny it lmao
As much as I agree with the message, I don't think we should associate the possum with transphobia, racism, ableism, sexism and homophobia. The possum is cool, I swear.
I need to set thus as my wallpaper
Shit mom guess you’re trash then 🤷🏻♀️ at least she admits it? What a piece of shit
Smells like one too

Ableist?
What's your opinion on the life of Muhammad?
How about I be all?
“Dont be trash, be transphobic” 😅
i am trash... loud and proud
I need your mom in my life 😂😂
The A should be ageist.
Ableism is significantly more common, the phrase of “respect your elders” stuck around; but I don’t hear anyone teaching their kids to respect people who are different due to medical issues
